Broadcast is back with a collaborative mini album with The Focus Group. Its a pretty psychedelic piece of work, this one song doesn’t give it justice, you might want to hear the whole thing. Look for them to put out the CD/LP on the October US tour with Atlas Sound.

Recent Pitchfork Media approved Volcano Choir should be a big hit among the bearded folk lovers and for the Bon Iver fans out there, yes that’s him singing. I love the gliding drive this song has, it makes me want to go back to the softer side of Broken Social Scene albums.

I don’t know anything about High Wolf but i’m glad I found them, this song alone could replace that Mum void that has been empty for about 5 years now. I can’t wait to wake up on a cold winter morning and have this be my alarm clock song.

Hemingway has fused 2 more genres that should be together and introduces us to Yacht-Funk, not bad I like the sound of that, loving the synth work, its nice to have someone remapping and adjusting this disco direction.

i just found out about this yesterday.
broadcast + focus group = holy shnikeys!

been a huge fan of both for awhile. focus group, in my opinion, are the crown jewel of ghostbox. i know alot of people drool over belbury poly, but focus group and advisory circle to me are the lords of ghostbox. such a good collab. sidenote trivia: the guy that runs ghostbox and is in focus group (julian house) is an amazing designer.

I just found out about Broadcast the other day from the Warp20 post from which I explored the label and found them on the site. I absolutely love them and I the video is amazing. Their work with the Focus Group is just freakin’ great. I am going to buy the album this week for sure.

Definitely digging the Volcano Choir album and it’s nice to hear someone else is in love with the quiet BSS. I hope they don’t lose that on the record they’re working on now. The live songs I’ve heard are all big epic songs, you can tell they’re fun on stage but those songs don’t always translate very well on record, they’re songs can be so beautifully subtle.

Was just about to comment on the Dig out your soul (Oasis) artwork and how it looked similar but someone beat me to it! Interesting to hear it’s the same designer and it appears he is indeed repeating himself!
